These buses were made for me…well for those travelling to-and-from the Hamilton GO station. When I first saw them on the road, I was excited because it meant that I could get a new perspective on my daily commutes. Here are some quick facts about the new buses:

• lower floors, and a longer, more gradual ramp for easier boarding and exiting
• two wider mobility device areas to provide improved maneuverability
• eight electrical outlets for customer use (four on each level) with two in the wheeled mobility device area
• automated next-stop announcements and visual displays for consistent and timely information (available on all GO Buses)
• more space to store luggage
• reclining seats on the lower floor
